Reduced Heirloom Costs

Heirloom costs have been reduced for items added in 5.2--what makes them special is that they can be used from 1-85. They are now 40% of their previous Justice or Honor Point cost, but still require turning in their older heirloom to purchase:

5 or 5 5.2 items now require the old heirloom and 0 or 0 to purchase.

0 or 0 5.2 items now require the old heirloom and 0 or 0 to purchase.

New mounts: (Alliance reward for ), (tied to Brawler's Guild?)

New enchants have been added, although so far they don't have unique qualities: , .

Many new ilvl 516 epics with randoms stats have been added. Based on their names, they appear to be Heroic Scenario rewards-- vs .Weapons

New scenario achievements: , , We have some more clarity on what the 5.3 segment of the legendary questline will entail, thanks to new achievement text. "Accompany Wrathion on his journey to obtain blessings from the four August Celestials."Some capes with placeholder names are now upgraded to ilvl 600 with stats and unique models: , , , , , . We're not sure if the ilvl 600 part will remain, but based on the flavor text in Wrathion's achievement, it seems like these may be tied to the new legendary quests.Existing PvP items have gotten rebalanced stats in light of the Blizzard announcement that resilience will be removed from all gear in 5.3. For example now gives an extra 200 PvP Power, since the Resilience component is removed.

New Models

We have models for the new capes, as well as the Alliance and Horde rewards for 200 mounts, .

Accompany Wrathion on his journey to obtain blessings from the four August Celestials.

Just the other night I proposed something to my cousin....what if wrathion isn't really wrathion? How many "setbacks" has deathwing had...it is not out of the realm of possibility somewhere down the line a familiar face might come back.

So.... now you've changed Stance of the fierce tiger again... good of them to get all the windwalkers hope up with the first update of the 20% dmg buff, wich would have been abit of an overkill. They should just make as it was before, 20% cause that day before patch nerf was just retarded and so not needed.. since as it feels now, ww monk gets sat out cause the other melee class does so much more dmg wich isn't how it should be!

This may be a dumb question but how does the game count mounts for achievements like Mount Parade? If I log into the Armoury it displays ALL my mounts, Alliance ones included, and puts me well over 200, but in game I only have 176. Which do the achievements use?

Took them long enough to figure out that it was a stupid decision to make upgrading heirlooms that much.

Nice to see that price slash on the heirlooms, I might actually get enough JP to upgrade more than one.

It's still too high for just a 5 level difference in which no one will use that and a different name.

We shouldn't have to wait for 5.3 to get the reduced heirloom costs. They can easily hotfix this.

It shows the mounts that character can use. For example, my DK got the 100 mount achievement, but just before logging over to the DK, my hunter showed 99 mounts. The DK class mount didn't count for the hunter.

why oh why does blizzard do this do us monks? they give us hope of a possible buff then shoot us down shortly after. if they're not going to do any sort of buffs just don't do anything at all with our class, its annoying to get all excited then just reverted back to nothing.

I'm very dissapointed with armored dragonhawks look , expected something far more creative(Why did it have to be dragonhawk again :S) and more attractive coz 200 mounts is really something that's hard to farm ... armored red dragonhawk is same as red dragonhawk just with some shields on it and recolored wings

Although the Armory lists both horde and alliance mounts it does not count the opposing faction mounts towards the accomplishment. However, there are some weird quirks, like the fact that my Belf can use the Horde versions of my Alliance mounts without having more than 20 unique mounts herself. Mounts like the Headless Horseman and other non-faction specific, non-class specific mounts count on both sides.
